Enrolling now for September 2017-2019

The AQA Dance GCSE course seeks to promote knowledge, skill and understanding of dance through composition, performance and appreciation of each candidate's own work and that of others, including peers and professionals. Each student will experience a range of dance styles, while being allowed to develop her or his own technical and expressive skills. Following the dance GCSE course will provide students with a rich source of ideas for creating dances and explore the relationship between content and form in the expression of a dance idea. As well as developing their established technique and extending it to encompass numerous dance genres, the students will learn how to work as a team through the variety of choreographic tasks they undertake and gain an excellent understanding of performance through the appreciation of their own and professional works.

The course is spread over 2 years and is available for students who are 13 years+. There will be a minimum requirement of 6 students for the course to run. Students do not have to currently attend classes at the Natalie Vinson School of Dance and Drama.

If you enjoy dance, have plenty of energy and discipline and

would like to develop the range of your dance skills, then the GCSE course is ideal for you.

Previous dance experience necessary.

Students must also attend a regular weekly “technique” class.

The course includes: Component 1: Performance & Choreography (60%) Component 2: Dance Appreciation (40%)
